“Alex has a good chance to beat Magomed in the rematch. I think Alex is tired. How many title defenses has he had? He has been moving from one weight class to another.
Alex is a superstar. He can’t leave the house without someone saying, “Oh, man! Should we take a picture?” And that tires your mind. If Alex takes a step back, clears his mind, stops traveling all over the damn world, and comes out fresh, he will have a real chance,” Strickland said in an interview with Red Corner MMA.
Let’s remember that in March, Pereira lost to Ankalaev by unanimous decision and lost the UFC title in the light heavyweight division.
